I think its either Odessa Cubbage or someone entirely new.
This sure looks like the NPC who was supposed to be in ep3.....
I'd lose my mind if it's Adrian Shephard, even though that's definitely not him.
Edit: Unless some time shenanigans happened, Shepard would be at most 37 if he was brought back immediately after OpFor.
...and now somehow has a kiwi accent, depite being a US marine...
To be fair, he never spoke.
I think this man might be the cut character, Odell, who was meant to be a character introduced in the cut section of Half Life 2 that was supposed to take you to the Borealis.
Russel is his name, I promise you. The screenshot of him sitting infront of a computer is called "Russels Lab".
Got this info from this Valve HL:A-directory: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9lp0qs5wmi6s20/AABCnSi9A18JVRFs8VvXC1baa/Game%20Screens\_WIP
If it isn't a typo, I Don't often see Russel with one l.
As a long time Half-Life fan and a one l Russel, I feel special.
